Diablo Lake in North Cascades National Park

We took an unexpected side trip to the Cascades. As we were driving from Seattle to Vancouver, we saw the Cascades Highway and had to go check out the National Park. We ended up spending the night, getting a bit away from our planned trip. That just makes the trip that much more of an adventure, that much more fun!

And our family collects visits to the National Parks and Monuments the way other families collect coupons.
